This is once again a brazen attack on freedom of art. I have not seen this movie yet so I can not judge it’s artistic merit. Generally speaking I am disappointed with a lot of modern movies coming out of the regions of former Yugoslavia and much of the Eastern block. Often they are very cynical and not in any way enlightening. The artistic level has declined from the days of Andre Tarkovsky’s “The Mirror” or Emir Kusturica’s “Do You Remember Dolly Bell?” I think the post Soviet artists and intelligentsia could be doing a much better job. A good starting point in my opinion is to separate one’s world outlook from both poisonous nationalism and the even more poisonous western imperialism. One has to work through, in their head, the unsolved problems of the unfinished 20th century. I do however know about the event that this movie is trying to tackle. I’ve known about it since I was a child. I think this is an incredibly important event in history which few people talk about. The movie has been accused of Serbian nationalist propaganda. I think that confronting Jasenovac is as important as confronting Aushwitz. In Jasenovac anywhere from 80,000 to 700,000 Serbs, Jews and Roma were liquidated by the fascist Ustase regime. They also set up the only camp for children in WW2. In the nineties the number of dead was reduced to 30,000 by the ultra nationalist Croatian president (a favorite of Berlin and Washington) Franjo Tudjman who drove 400,000 Serbs out of Croatia. The Western media with its all too common anti Serb dogmatism is parroting his revisionist lie and is engaging in Holocaust denial. We don’t say that movies made about Jewish victims of the Holocaust are Zionist propaganda. One doesn’t need to be a supporter of Serbian nationalism in order to see the prejudice. ......continued in the comment.」2月17日 20時20分
